Phoenix Coyotes One Loss From Elimination After Losing Game Three to Los Angeles Kings

The Phoenix Coyotes' incredible run this year is one loss away from being over.

The Coyotes lost 2-1 to the Los Angeles Kings at the Staples Center last night, in what was probably the closest shot for the Coyotes to win a game over this three-game stretch in the Western Conference finals.

The Coyotes were even first on the board in this game, as Keith Yandle made a sweet pass to Daymond Langkow early in the second period, which Langkow dumped in the net past Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick.

It was Kings star Anze Kopitar who answered yet again, and scored on Coyotes goaltender Mike Smith with another backhand, as he did in game one.
